Behind Closed Doors – BA Paris

Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace: he has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. You’d like to get to know Grace better. But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are never apart. Some might call this true love.

Picture this: a dinner party at their perfect home, the conversation and wine flowing. They appear to be in their element while entertaining. And Grace’s friends are eager to reciprocate with lunch the following week. Grace wants to go, but knows she never will. Her friends call—so why doesn’t Grace ever answer the phone? And how can she cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim?

And why are there bars on one of the bedroom windows?

The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?

My Review: WOW. The sign of a great book is when you realise you have forgotten to breathe during an entire chapter. Terrifyingly chilling, Behind Closed Doors tells the story of domestic abuse and grabs you from the first page. As we like to say in our book club – this book is a total sphincter clencher! Read it.. but make sure you leave the lights on!
